I rang the supplier back this arvo and they've decided not to import anything more from that manufacturer in the foreseeable future.
Guess that's why they never got back to me about when the next shipment was due. :x

Might be a good thing that you found that Chugga. The supplier I found was going to ring me to let me know when they'd be available. They never got back to me and I forgot about it. I rang them today but it doesn't sound good. They're not sure they'll be getting any more stock from that manufacturer ...

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I'll ring the supplier again tomorrow and see if they can get three in.
Or do some of you want passenger side ones too ?

When I checked with suppliers a while back they said give them a list of how many and they'd get them with their next shipment.
It sounded like you guys had it sorted, so I sort of forgot about it. $75 plus delivery is the max they should cost.

I can't get them as single bushes, only in a kit that has 4 bushes to fix both lower arms.

Aftermarket bushes for idler arms are usually available but are currently out of stock, and it's not known when the next batch will be available.
If you need them straight away I can do some more chasing for someone else who makes them.

Yes ball joint prices are the same for upper or lower.

"Phoenix" Brand Filters

Just wondering if anyone has used Phoenix filters, or knows anything about them.
I'm wondering if they mainly sell to mobs who rebrand them.

"Completed listings" only stay there for 2 weeks.
If you want to keep a listing that's ended, sometimes the "watch this item" option is still there if you click on the "bids" link. You can also use "email to a friend" and just send it to yourself.
